Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said Monday he has tested positive for Covid-19, putting a question mark against his ability to appear on the sideline for next Sunday’s clash with the San Francisco 49ers.

Nagy, whose team were thrashed 38-3 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Florida on Sunday, told reporters he had tested positive despite being fully vaccinated.

“Unfortunately, this morning, it came back that I was positive for COVID,” Nagy said during a video press conference.

“This is something that, for us, it’s a reminder to all of us to be extremely cautious and to understand where we’re at.”

Special teams coordinator Chris Tabor will take over head coach duties this week while Nagy is in isolation.

Tabor previously stood in for Nagy earlier this year when the Bears coach missed the start of rookie minicamp after being in close contact with someone who had tested positive for the coronavirus.

“We created a plan two years ago when we started this thing. We have a role for every coach and the roles that if we don’t have a coach, who steps in. That’s how we’ll go moving forward,” Nagy said.

“I know our group of coaches and players are extremely resilient.”

Under NFL protocols, Nagy must return two negative Covid-19 tests and show no symptoms of the virus in order to be cleared to return to his coaching duties.

FBI Most Wanted Fugitive Arrested in Mexico and Deported to U.S.

Authorities in Mexico announced Thursday that Samuel Ramírez Jr., a U.S. citizen accused of murdering two women and listed among the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, was arrested in the northern state of Sinaloa.

Ramírez Jr., 33, was detained Tuesday in Culiacán just 1 hour and 13 minutes after being added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Ten Most Wanted list, the agency said in a statement.

The suspect, who was born in California, has already been deported to the U.S. state of Washington, where he faces charges related to the fatal shooting of two women at a bar in Federal Way in May 2023.

A court issued an arrest warrant for Ramírez in November last year, and the FBI initially offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to his capture, later increasing the amount to up to $1 million.

“To protect individuals’ privacy and ensure continued cooperation from the public, the FBI does not confirm the identity of those who provide information,” the agency said in its statement.

UN experts warn Nicaragua runs vast transnational network to monitor exiled dissidents

Nicaragua maintains an “extensive” transnational network to monitor and intimidate opposition figures living in exile, affecting “hundreds of thousands” of people, the United Nations Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua warned on Tuesday.

In a statement, the experts said their report “details an extensive transnational architecture of surveillance and intelligence used to monitor, intimidate and attack the hundreds of thousands of Nicaraguans living abroad.”

The report, which will be presented on March 16 to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, states that the structure maintained by the government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo includes the army, the police, migration authorities and diplomatic missions.

According to the statement, “the government has arbitrarily stripped 452 Nicaraguans of their nationality, left thousands more exiled in a situation of de facto statelessness, and prevented many from returning to Nicaragua.”

Trump: ‘We Think It’s True’ Amid Claims Iran’s Supreme Leader Was Killed

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he believes multiple reports claiming the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, during the U.S. and Israeli offensive against the Islamic Republic are likely true, though he stopped short of confirming the news.

“We have a feeling that the information is correct,” he said, according to NBC News. “I don’t want to say anything definitive until I see it, but we think that’s the case. And many of their leaders have disappeared,” he added.

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there were “many indications” that Khamenei had died in an attack on his residential compound.
